Felt Roofing in Hemel Hempstead

Torch-On Felt Roofing in Hemel Hempstead

Felt works well on garages, sheds and extensions that see little foot traffic, and it usually costs less to install than GRP or EPDM. TNR Roofing Services lays new torch-on felt roofs, re-felts outbuildings and patches splits and lifted laps on roofs that still have life left in them, for homes and commercial properties alike.

We are based in Hemel Hempstead, so felt roofing across HP1, HP2 and HP3 is close to home for us. The free survey covers the felt and the deck beneath it, and you get a no-obligation quote that explains whether a repair will hold or the roof is due for re-felting.

How it works

How We Re-Felt Roofs in Hemel Hempstead

What happens from your first call to the finished work.

  1. Free Survey and Deck Check

    We look for splits, blisters, lifted laps and standing water on the existing felt, and test the deck for soft or sagging areas, so the quote reflects what is really there.

  2. Stripping and Priming

    Old felt and loose chippings are removed, rotten boards are replaced, and the deck is cleaned and primed so the new layers bond firmly.

  3. Torching on the Layers

    The base sheet is torched onto the deck, then the mineral cap sheet is bonded over it with the laps staggered so no joint sits above another.

  4. Edges, Upstands and Handover

    Felt is dressed up walls and finished at the drip trims and outlets. We clear old felt and offcuts from site, then review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to lay a felt roof?

Torch-on felt goes down quickly on a sound deck. The time depends on the size of the roof, how much old felt has to come off and whether any boards need replacing, and we give you an idea of timing with the quote.

My garage roof leaks at the edge. Can you fix just that part?

Often, yes. Leaks at the edge usually come from a lifted lap or a failed drip trim. If the rest of the felt is sound, we repair that section and refit the trim so water runs into the gutter again.

Do I need permission from Dacorum Borough Council to re-felt?

Not normally, as replacing like with like is treated as maintenance. Dacorum Borough Council should be your first call if your HP1, HP2 or HP3 home is listed or in a conservation area.

Can you help if my felt roof starts leaking out of hours?

Yes. We offer a 24/7 emergency response, so a sudden leak through a felt roof can be made safe and then properly assessed for repair.
